Neutron detection using superheated drops. Technical report No. 1 covering the period 1 May 1981-30 June 1984

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6667763
The goal of this research is to determine whether neutron detectors based on superheated drops not only have the characteristics desirable for neutron dosimetry (sensitivity and energy response, etc.) but also have the practical attributes (stability and ease of handling) which warrant later commercial development. The results of our research since that time have validated the concept of superheated drops for neutron detection, and have addressed many of the theoretical and practical aspects of developing neutron detectors based on superheated drops.
